    I'll say this. If Crawford was in the place of Ugas last Saturday, the fight would be over when Spence lost his mouthpiece.

    I pick Crawford inside the limit. Spence is relentless; Crawford is MEAN.

      Has thinking more Hangler-Leonard

        Honestly I dont know. I think Crawford is the better boxer, but Spence is tough as fk, bigger and younger.

        Could be a controversial UD/SD as said above

          Too many variables for me to pick but here's how I think it can play out.
          Bud starts slow so the first 3 or 4 rounds is all Spence and I don't think Spence will fight Bud the way he did Ugas pressing the action. After 3 or 4 and Bud feels like he has timing down the fight actually starts. The variables i spoke of is can Bud punish Spence and eventually break him down or will Spence be able to take what Bud dishes out and be able to break Bud down? Both are possible it will boil down to who has more dog in them IMHO

            Who in jupiter knows? People won't clamor for this fight for years if they knew who wins.
            I suspect this could end in two more fights after the first one. Both could end up 5x richer financially.

            I won't be rooting for Crawford. I want to see him in a vulnerable situation, which I have not seen him in.

              Nonsense, Spence can box from the outside as he displayed against Mikey Garcia. Spence is a former Olympian, the man can box if he wants to.

                MEAN machine dropped Crawford, if that was Spence in there...he would have finished Crawford.

                  I like both and lean slightly with TC but Errol is a dog with a huge engine and you can never write them type of guys off, good fight may the best man win.

                    Always liked Spence in this one but now lean towards Crawford.

                    I think Spence is really tight at the weight and its possibly taking a little from his punch resistance. I also thought his defense was very sloppy vs Ugas and he didn't really adjust.
                    I think it could have been really interesting if Ugas let his hands go a bit more. I felt the odd time he threw more than 2 shots he was giving Spence all sorts of problems.

                    Another reason I favoured Spence was previously I thought he seemed a much bigger puncher than he actually is. Great engine but rather mediocre power

                      You might have a point. But I'm not so sure...
